Dynamics of genomic diversity and viability of endangered livestock populations : the example of the Gochu Asturcelta pig breed
This PhD Thesis aims at the assessment of the patterns and drivers of genetic variation in smalllive stock populations, focusing on the relationship between inbreeding, genetic diversity, and the evolutionary potential of endangered populations. Local livestock populations, such as the endangered Go...

| Sumario: | This PhD Thesis aims at the assessment of the patterns and drivers of genetic variation in smalllive stock populations, focusing on the relationship between inbreeding, genetic diversity, and the evolutionary potential of endangered populations. Local livestock populations, such as the endangered Gochu Asturcelta pig, native to Asturias, Northwestern Spain, are particularly vulnerable to genetic bottlenecks and inbreeding, making the preservation of their genetic diversity challenging. While the increasing availability of molecular data could allow the computation of several diversity parameters, the particular pedigree of the Gochu Asturcelta pigbreed, characterized by a low number of founders and large families, offers an opportunity to evaluate their usefulness... |
